Do i need coilovers?

I have an 06 4x4 screw and it has the 4inch Superlift on it and still has the factory shocks. Apparently this lift is supposed to make the front sit level, but on my truck the front sits two inches lower than the back and rides rough. I went to fourwheel parts and asked them if i could just get the bilstien 5100s that have the 2 inches of adjustment to lift the front a little more, and they said that wouldnt work. They told me it would mess up the angles in the front end and the only thing i could do would be get some adjustable coilovers like the Dirt Logics. Is this correct?

Unless I'm retarded, some new coilovers would do the same damage as the Bilstein's... Sounds like they just want you to spend more money.

I could be wrong though.

Why wouldn't the bilsteins work ? ? How would they differ from a coil over giving you the same 2" extra ?

4wp showing their expertise again ? ?

I agree. They both do the same thing.

Yea thats what i thought. Thats why i was confused. Would it be a bad idea to get the adjustable bilsteins? Would it damage the front end?

Anytime you increase the CV/ball joint angles you increase wear. However, it should not be much of an increase. Certainly no more than anyone else here running a leveling kit or adjustable coilovers.
